Moving on..I finished reading The Iron King by Julie Kagawa last week. I was very excited to read this book after having heard so many great things about it. I can't say I fell in love with it, but it was a nice read. To me it felt a lot Alice-In-The-Wonderland-esque in the beginning, but it got better as the book progressed. That being said, I loved Julie's description of the Summer/Winter/Iron Courts, very descriptive and detailed. For me the lack of development of the characters was the biggest let down. One thing I can't stand is a dumb heroine, while I wont go as far as to say Meghan's character was dumb, it wasn't very bright either. And, Ash, oh Ash, you had the potential to be so coldly sexy in your coldness, but nah, it didn't happen for me. His character, to me, felt like it needed to be introduced earlier or in order for their relationship to develop. This late introduction of character led to a rather rushed romance. My favorite character was Robin Goodfellow, haha, he was rather funny with his tricks! The cover of the book is very pretty as well. So if you are really into faeries, and are looking for a nice quick read, I would say go ahead read this book :)
So I went to the mall today to go shop, but I got really tired and didn't want to slow down my sister in her quest for the perfect camping outfit, so I just went to Coles and bought two books..like I really need to buy any more books! My own-it-but-haven't-read-it pile is humangous! Anyway, I was soo tempted to buy The Clockwork Angel by Cassie Clare but it was for 22.50 Canadian Dollars! :O So I resister the urge (will order from Amazon.ca) and went ahead and bought Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl and also The Maze Runner by James Dashner, both in paperback!
Currently Reading: The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen. It is just so sad and a slow read. But still interesting and very well written so far.
In other news, it has gotten turn-on-the-heat cold in Toronto! :(
Till next time,
Bis
